Momentum now behind Henry Cavill to be the next Bond
The race to be the next James Bond has taken another twist, with Henry Cavill now the clear frontrunner according to the latest odds from bet365.
Cavill's price has shortened significantly from 4/1 to just 6/4 over the past 48 hours, following what appears to be a notable shift in betting activity.
The British actor, best known for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher, has long been a fan-favourite for the role.
Bet365 reported on the shift in odds earlier today, with the massive market change now suggesting a 40% implied pro of Cavill playing the iconic character.
UK Betting Sites continue to offer odds on the role with the latest market looking like this:
| Next James Bond | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Henry Cavill | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Aaron Taylor-Johnson | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Theo James | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| James Norton | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Harris Dickinson | 9/1 | 10.0% |
bet365’s Trading Pro Steve Freeth talks on market move
This market shift comes after a quiet few months on the Bond front, suggesting that punters are responding to either new whispers or a coordinated wave of bets.
In volatile betting markets like this, it's not uncommon for sharp activity to signal a development that hasn’t hit the press just yet.
